The History of Pop Art (ss) The first application of the term Pop Art occurred during discussions among artists who called themselves the Independent Group IG , which was part of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, begun around — Acquiring consumer goods, responding to clever advertisements and building more effective forms of mass communication back then: movies, television, newspapers, and magazines galvanized energy among young people born during the post-World War II generation. Rebelling against the esoteric vocabulary of abstract art, they wanted to express their optimism in a youthful visual language, responding to so much hardship and privation. Pop Art celebrated the United Generation of Shopping. The collage appeared in the show This Is Tomorrow at Whitechapel Art Gallery in , so we might say that this work of art and this exhibition mark the official beginning of the movement, even though the artists worked on Pop Art themes earlier in their careers. Pop Art, for the most part, completed the Modernism movement in the early s, with its optimistic investment in contemporary subject matter. It also ended the Modernism movement by holding up a mirror to contemporary society. Once the postmodernist generation looked hard and long into the mirror, self-doubt took over and the party atmosphere of Pop Art faded away. There are several readily recognizable characteristics that art critics use to define pop art:. The integration of fine art and popular culture such as billboards, packaging, and print advertisements began long before the s. This immensely popular series featured brightly painted moralizing scenes invented by French illustrator and art rival Jean-Charles Pellerin — Every schoolboy knew these pictures of street life, the military, and legendary characters. Did the middle class get Courbet's drift? Maybe not, but Courbet did not care. He knew he had invaded "high art" with a "low" art form. Spanish artist Pablo Picasso used the same strategy. Dada pioneer Marcel Duchamp pushed Picasso's consumerist ploy further by introducing the actual mass-produced object into the exhibition: a bottle-rack, a snow shovel, a urinal upside down. He called these objects Ready-Mades, an anti-art expression that belonged to the Dada movement. Early Pop artists followed Duchamps' lead in the s by returning to imagery during the height of Abstract Expressionism and purposely selecting "low-brow" popular imagery. They also incorporated or reproduced 3-dimension objects. This work was called "Neo-Dada" during its formative years. Independent Group Institute of Contemporary Art.

They took refuge in neutral Switzerland. • They were angry at the European society that had allowed the war to happen. • Dada was a form of protest. • It’s intention was to provoke and shock The name “Dada” was chosen because it was nonsensical. They wanted a name that made the least amount of sense. • They used any public forum to spit on: nationalism rationalism materialism and society in general Mona Lisa with a Mustache “The Fountain” “The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even” George Groz “Remember Uncle Augustus the Unhappy Inventor”(collage) Raoul Hausmann “ABCD” (collage) Merit Oppenheim “Luncheon in Fur” Using pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them Artist use borrowed elements in their creation of a new work • Dada self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming “acceptable.” • The Dada movement and the Surrealists have influenced many important artists. Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) became one of the most famous artists to use assemblage. His work is both surreal and poetic. A 3-D form of using "found" objects arranged in such a way that they create a piece of art. The Pop American artist, Robert Rauschenberg, uses assemblage, painting, printmaking and collage in his work. He is directly influenced by the Dada-ists. “Canyon” “Monogram” “Bed” “Coca-cola Plan” “Retroactive” • These artist use borrowed elements in their creation to make a new work of art! • As long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art it was OK.

  • The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century
    This PDF is a selection from a published volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art Volume Author/Editor: David W. Galenson Volume Publisher: Cambridge University Press Volume ISBN: 978-0-521-11232-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/gale08-1 Publication Date: October 2009 Title: The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century Author: David W. Galenson URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5786 Chapter 3: The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century Introduction Quality in art is not just a matter of private experience. There is a consensus of taste. Clement Greenberg1 Important works of art embody important innovations. The most important works of art are those that announce very important innovations. There is considerable interest in identifying the most important artists, and their most important works, not only among those who study art professionally, but also among a wider public. The distinguished art historian Meyer Schapiro recognized that this is due in large part to the market value of works of art: “The great interest in painting and sculpture (versus poetry) arises precisely from its unique character as art that produces expensive, rare, and speculative commodities.”2 Schapiro’s insight suggests one means of identifying the most important artists, through analysis of prices at public sales.3 This strategy is less useful in identifying the most important individual works of art, however, for these rarely, if ever, come to market. An alternative is to survey the judgments of art experts. One way to do this is by analyzing textbooks.

  • Gagosian and Deitch Team up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’S Still a Bunch of White Guys
    Art World (https://news.artnet.com/art-world) Gagosian and Deitch Team Up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’s Still a Bunch of White Guys "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building is a disappointment. Sarah Cascone (https://news.artnet.com/about/sarah-cascone-25), December 6, 2018 "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building (2018), installation view. Photo ©artists and estates, by Emily Hodes, courtesy of Gagosian. It has become an annual tradition for super-dealers Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch to join forces during Art Basel Miami Beach, hosting an exhibition in the Design District’s Moore Building. This year, the duo’s effort is “Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop (https://gagosian.com/news/2018/11/15/pop-minimalism-exhibition-deitch-moore-building-miami/),” a reexamination of those two powerful American art currents that could have been timely, given that re-explorations of forgotten sides of the 1960s and ’70s have become a museum and market (https://news.artnet.com/market/abmb-market-report-rediscoveries-1173188) phenomenon of late. Yet it became almost immediately apparent upon walking into the Moore Building that this year’s show was not some kind of radical rethinking of history. It is just the contrary, as evidenced by the fact that this show is dominated by the expected club of canonical men, almost all of them white: Damien Hirst (http://www.artnet.com/artists/damien-hirst/), Donald Judd (http://www.artnet.com/artists/donald-judd/), Jeff Koons (http://www.artnet.com/artists/jeff-koons/), Roy Lichtenstein (http://www.artnet.com/artists/roy-lichtenstein/), Andy Warhol (http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-warhol/), and Richard Prince (http://www.artnet.com/artists/richard-prince/), to name just a few.

  • Department of Art History Annual Newsletter
    DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY ANNUAL NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2019 Cover image: Roy Lichtenstein Sandwich and Soda, 1964 Screenprint Permanent Collection, Zimmerli Art Museum Rutgers University–New Brunswick Before he became celebrated as a Pop Art painter, printmaker, and sculptor, Roy Lichtenstein taught art and design from 1960 to 1962 at Douglass College, (at the time, the women’s college at Rutgers). After his first solo exhibition at New York’s Leo Castelli Gallery in 1962, Lichtenstein gave up teaching to concentrate on creating art. Screenprinted in patriotic red and blue on a clear plastic sheet (which permits the white backing to show through), Sandwich and Soda features an ordinary American lunch. In this print, Lichtenstein used the stylistic elements of flat, stenciled signage and generic advertising design. This work is now regarded a landmark of early Pop Art printmaking. It was Lichtenstein’s innovative prints, exemplified by Sandwich and Soda, that helped to promote the fusion of high and low art forms to an international audience of art viewers and collectors. Marilyn Symmes, Director of the Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts and Curator of Prints and Drawings, Zimmerli Art Museum CONTENTS 1 CHAIR’S UPDATE 3 INTRODUCING AMBER WILEY 4 FACULTY NEWS 8 CHAPS NEWS 9 GRADUATE STUDENT NEWS 13 ALUMNI NEWS We in the Art History Department spend the better part of each day contemplating the aesthetic past.

We have written this thesis to educate not only ourselves, but to give other non art and art history majors, an idea of where to start if you were thinking about exploring the subject. With little background in art and art history, we didn’t know where to start looking, but quickly found three art movements that interested us the most: Abstract, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art. With our topics in mind we decided to paint six paintings, two in each movement, and yet it seemed that the six paintings by themselves were not enough. We wanted to learn more. To supplement those six paintings we wrote this paper to give some background information on each movement and how we incorporated the styles of each movement into our paintings.

  • Rose in a Vase Personal Project Report
    Rose in a Vase Personal Project Report School name: Student name: Supervisor name: School year: 2018/2019 Word count: 3 482 Investigating The opportunity to do the Personal Project made me allocate more time for what I enjoy doing. My Personal Project goal is to paint a single motif, a rose in a vase, in five different art styles of the 20th century. The specific art movements I am going to be inspired by are Vienna secession, cubism, abstract expressionism, pop art, and minimalism. The final product will include five A3 canvases each painted with my own interpretation and design of a rose in a vase in one of the given art styles with a short description of the art movement under each painting. I aim to achieve this goal by the final product deadline, February 8th 2019, by working consistently and effectively throughout the year. My art skills, techniques and knowledge are going to be challenged by the goal I picked because I have rarely attempted to paint without a direct template, which makes creating an art piece more difficult by not having outlines, proportions or colours to follow. In order to define my goal better and give my project a specific focus, I utilized the idea of one Global Context. Personal and Cultural Expression is the Global Context I chose to provide me with a starting point in my inquiry and later on encourage me to reflect and draw connections. While working with the specific Global Context, we want to question the nature and purpose of creative expression and explore the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; ways in which we reflect on and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic (PLC).

  • American Painting During the Cold War
    Artforum, May 1973 American Painting During the Cold War Max Kozloff This article is a somewhat revised version of the introduction to the catalogue of the exhibition, "Twenty-five Years of American Painting 1948–1973," organized by James T. Demetrion at the Des Moines Art Center (Josef Albers, Ron Davis, Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Estes, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Irwin, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Lindner, Morris Louis, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Philip Pearlstein, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Clyfford Still, Wayne Thiebaud, Mark Tobey, Andy Warhol, and William T. Wiley, March 6– April 22, 1973). Catalogue: 72 pages, perfect bound, 9 3/4" square, 23 black-and-white illustrations, 23 colorplates, brief bibliography, $7.00. All colorplates used here are somewhat reduced in size and courtesy of the Des Moines art Center. More celebrated than its counterparts in letters, architecture, and music, American postwar art has become a success story that begs, not to be retold, but told freshly for this decade. The most recent as well as most exhaustive book on Abstract Expressionism is Irving Sandler's The Triumph of American Painting, a title that sums up the self-congratulatory mood of many who participated in its career. Three years ago, the Metropolitan Museum enshrined 43 artists of the New York School, 1940–1970, as one pageant in the chapter of its own centennial. Though elevated as a cultural monument of an unassailable but also a fatiguing grandeur, the virtues of this painting and sculpture will survive the present period in which they are taken too much for granted.

It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.” Roy Lichtenstein1 Looking to the everyday object as viable subject matter for art, Pop art reflects on Western concepts associated with consumer culture that challenge passive consumption and push for active questioning; product as subject matter. Linking identity and status to objects are not a new concept and can be found across cultures and time periods. Pop art brings to light how objects, media and celebrity shape individuals and cultures.
